    I just got a bill from Google Cloud for the month of November and happy to see that we reduced our costs by 65%, from $687/month to $247/month. Would you like to see a blog post about that? Comment yes or write your guess on how we did it - we are running mostly on GKE. I'll probably write it if there is enough interest: 20-30 upvotes. This is one of those situations on how to optimize at a small scale, but most of the things can be applied to big-scale setups as well. #cloud #costs #gke

  • Our founder, 🇺🇦 Maksym Lushpenko, was featured in Entrepreneur Media for his insights on How Startups Can Use Capital Efficiency to Stay Ahead! 🚀 💬 "Instead of building and maintaining an expensive, always-on cloud infrastructure, we developed a system that spins up cloud environments only when users are actively taking assessments," Maksym shared. This on-demand approach doesn't just save costs—it optimizes performance and delivers an amazing experience for our users. At Brokee, we're all about doing more with less. Here's how: 🌐 On-demand cloud labs: Pay-as-you-go environments reduce overhead costs without compromising on quality. 🤖 Automation at scale: Automated grading and reporting means we grow smarter, not bigger. 🎯 User-focused design: Everything is tailored to actual needs, ensuring maximum value for every dollar spent.

    Ukrainian version below | Українська версія нижче Three weeks ago, my mom called me on video, her face heavy with worry. “I have something to tell you, but you have to promise me you won’t do anything rash and will stay where you are,” she said. My heart sank. I promised her I’d stay calm, and that’s when she told me my brother Ruslan had been reported missing in action. In war, “missing in action” can mean many things: he might be injured and hiding, he could be captured, or he may have been killed but his body hasn’t been found or retrieved yet. Tragically, russian forces often shell relentlessly, making it impossible to recover the wounded or fallen soldiers. Ruslan is more than a soldier. He is the father of two young children: Sofia, 4 years old, and Denys, 2. His wife, Maryana, is now left to grieve while trying to raise their children and navigate life without him. My family is doing everything we can to support her, but it’s not enough to fill the void Ruslan has left behind. That’s why I’m asking for your help. Your donation can make an immediate difference, easing Maryana’s burden and providing stability for Ruslan's children during this heartbreaking time. While government aid might come eventually, it’s not immediate—and it’s not guaranteed. This is where your support can change lives. Any contribution shows Maryana she’s not alone. Let’s stand together for Ruslan’s family and his contribution to protecting Ukraine and the free world. 🇺🇦 Thank you for your kindness. (donation links in the first comment) -------------------------- Три тижні тому мені зателефонувала мама, і першими її словами були: «Я маю щось сказати тобі, але ти мусиш пообіцяти, що не зробиш нічого необдуманого і залишишся там, де ти є». Я пообіцяв залишатися спокійним, і тоді вона повідомила мені новину: мій брат Руслан вважається зниклим безвісти. На війні, «зниклий безвісти» може означати багато: він може бути пораненим і переховуватися, бути взятим у полон, або, можливо, його було вбито, але тіло не знайдене чи не евакуйоване. На жаль, москалі ведуть безперервні обстріли, що унеможливлює евакуацію поранених чи загиблих. Руслан є батьком двох маленьких дітей: Софії, якій 4 роки, і Дениса, якому всього 2. Його дружина Мар’яна тепер змушена справлятися з горем, виховувати дітей і шукати способи жити далі без нього. Хоча моя сім’я робить усе можливе, щоб підтримати її, цього недостатньо, щоб заповнити ту порожнечу, яку залишив Руслан. Саме тому я звертаюся за Вашою допомогою. Ваш внесок полегшить тягар Мар’яни, забезпечивши стабільність для Софії та Дениса в цей важкий час. Державна допомога, можливо, колись надійде, але вона не є миттєвою — і не гарантована. Саме Ваша підтримка може полегшити їхнє життя прямо зараз. Будь-який внесок, великий чи малий, покаже Мар’яні, що вона не одна. Давайте разом підтримаємо сім’ю Руслана та його внесок у захист України і вільного світу. Дякую за любу допомогу. (Посилання на донати в першому коментарі)

    We got a bit of feedback on our React test (still looking for a few more testers to get more balanced feedback) and are ready to share our first Python test, developed by Mykhailo A. As I haven't worked with FastAPI myself, this was a fun learning experience to take the test and play a bit with database queries and some other things. Please give it a try and share it with fellow backend engineers. The links for this and the react tests are in the first comment. #python #backend #fastapi
